Old cohorts are given rates from later years.

Case contract

Input table {year: [q per 100000 by age from 0]}, cohort birth year, ages a0..a1. Cohort rate at age a is table[cohort+a][a]; years after the last tabulated year use the last year; years before the first -> 'missing year <y>'; missing ages -> 'missing age <a>'. Return [rates, survival over the ages rounded 8].

Why this case matters

Life-table arithmetic compounds across ages, so one misplaced index or assumption shifts every downstream value.

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
cohort starts before first year	`[[535, 542, 549, 556, 563, 570, 574, 578], 0.95619323]`	`"missing year 1995"`	Failed
